The solutions to the cryptic clues are:
CIDER - a)CID ER(osion = "Apple product"
CHURCHILL - CHURCH + ILL = Yalta attendee
CATS - fantasti)C AT S(neaking = House pets
CAN-CAN - CAN + CAN = dance
CAMPARI - AMP in CAR + I = bitter
CHICAGO - CHICA + G(roup) O(f) = big city
CACHACA - C(h)A CHA C(h)A = Spirit
CABARET - (BEAR ACT)* = Theatrical entertainment
CAMEL - CAMEL(ot = OT<) = cigarette brand
CASTRO - C(ommunist) + A + STRO(ng) = &lit.
CHEETAH - homophone of cheater = African predator
CHIRAC - CHI(RA)C = Frenchman
COYOTE - (t)OYOT(a) in CE = dog relative
CAESAR - SEA< in CAR = dictator
COGNAC - C in COG + N/A = solution
COUGAR - COUG(h) + (f)AR = older woman
The connection, ...
... as Jon Mark Perry astutely, er, pointed out in the comments, is a connect wall of:
Cider, Cachaca, Campari, Cognac – alcoholic drinks that begin with C
Churchill, Castro, Chirac, Caesar – state leaders that begin with C
Camel, Cheetah, Coyote, Cougar – quadrupeds that begin with C
Can-Can, Chicago, Cabaret, Cats – musicals that begin with C
